Can Ottawa Steal a Win from Montreal? Redblacks vs Allouettes Betting Preview (Jun 18)
There has to be a lot of optimism in Montreal’s camp. Anyone doing Redblacks vs Alouettes betting will see that Montreal hasn’t let winning the Grey Cup last season affect the beginning of this season. Montreal opened up with consecutive victories to surge to first place in the standings. The Alouettes appear to be a strong defensive team again.
Ottawa opened the season with a narrow, four-point win. The Redblacks players are hoping they can sustain what they started. Ottawa struggled last season because of inconsistent quarterback play. Having one healthy starter for a long stretch should help provide consistency.

Defense holds firm for Ottawa
The Redblacks had to be happy to have new quarterback Dru Brown under center last match. Anyone doing Redblacks vs Alouettes betting will see that Ottawa traded for Brown in the offseason. While he wasn’t spectacular during his season debut, he was steady.
Brown completed 20 of 33 passes for 233 yards in the season opener. Having running back Ryqueell Armstead also carry the ball for 95 yards helped the Redblacks pick up a win over Winnipeg. CFL players stats also shows that Ottawaharassed Winnipeg quarterback Zac Collaros.
The Redblacks intercepted Collaros twice and looked good while shutting down an offense that was quite potent last season. Ottawa was relieved to see an improved running game because the CFL injury report shows its leading returning rusher, Devonte Williams, underwent surgery for torn Achilles and is still recovering.
